I did not post last week because our Sabbath was spent, enjoying God's creation at Grand Teton National Park. We camped for five days and six nights in one of the most beautiful places in the world. The psalmist wrote truly:
The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Psalm 19:1
In my last post on the Sabbath, I said that the Sabbath attests to God as the Creator of all things. When we look upon the magnificence of creation, it should compel us to worship the Creator, not creation itself. Certainly, God's creation is worthy of our appreciation and stewardship, but never our worship.
I wonder to what level we fail in directing our worship to God. I'm speaking primarily to those of us who call ourselves "Christians." I can only expect non-Christians to worship "other gods", though they are without excuse (Romans 1:18-20). We, however, know that God alone is worthy of our worship. So, I'm leaving this post open for discussion, I am wondering how we Christians fail in properly directing our worship to God. I am not necessarily looking for a list of the things we worship, but rather how we fall short in our worship of God. I look forward to your comments.
Shabbat Shalom!
